the starting letter via believe russia. but certain ever worn the store to be about him. he wanted it to be about the anna said. when it comes to that story snowden is no longer in control the journalists are in their promising more revelations edward snowden is not guiding the stories he handed over a certain number of documents needed to other reporters six months ago and he told us the hope that we would use around dutchman has not tried and would not succeed in telling us what to publish when not hopeless and dom in a week ago for one of the top of dough instead. in washington dc sent stocks artsy. believe it or not here now at the end of twenty thirteen it's been a monumental year to say the least. this year we saw huge advancements in the play for same marriage in the aftermath of the chemical gas attack with sa president obama in a us strike on syria most recently was on the death of former south african president and international icon nelson mandela. well it's important to reflect on the events that

have defined it this past year in history. it's equally important to look forward so that i pull out what we can expect next year and twenty fourteen are cheese on the stasi a church and sat down with gerald soul and take. he's the publisher of the trends journal and the founder of the trends research institute to collect twisting them and that turns casting carroll twenty eight to discuss the year ahead twenty four t know what lays ahead socially economically politically i don't think you very much fodder for having us today. well you are saying in your forecast that twenty fourteen is going to be year of extremes. from what i've read that kind of tough hard ships walking hand in hand with more time. inner enlightenment of sorts so let's talk a little about that. what do you mean how is this going to have represented something real and will look at the team's going on right now who would of thought was going on in time it would be going on they continue to go on. as hundreds of thousands of people around the streets. go

to the ukraine. go to romania take a look what's going on over in syria and in living look at the unrest going on throughout italy with the pitchfork movements. in spain. around t thehehehehehehe different way. and then you start looking in you pile on the economic means. it's not getting any better anywhere the only thing is got better for is that one percent of tons of people are talking about including yourself. i in terms of what to expect in the nearest future is another huge wayne of an economic mess. exactly when the economic still in rehab was where is this coming from this time and how can people just preparing themselves for having what do we do run in the you know me happy i

would've thought it would happen before. as interest rates go up. if the economy goes down. you know you look like the kind of person you can use the new board of appeal. well you don't have any credit. don't worry that he called this number. i have a deal to you within a given tube is zero percent. that's right step right up no money down to zero percent. you don't have to worry about anything. started doing it they created another ball ball. yes that shouldn't people be ye not surprised because this is exactly what happened in two thousand and eight. did you think people are falling into the same exact wrapping and delight think they are falling into it. look at automobile that it's almost a trillion to help us. of course been flowing into it again. it's the same scare you you mentioned people taking governments back. will people ever be able to take their privacy back or in that state in this teenage we just accept it move on and this is something that would have

thought that was to come back who these people say that they should be taking away from us everything. that the republicans and democrats are doing in the united states is diametrically opposed to everything that his country was founded upon but how does one fix that. i mean with such a scope and such unprecedented information coming out that all of this is going on. how do people move forward everybody is upset but what will and it's very simple you seen in country if the country. to me the monolith exists that everyone nepali have to look at the sea. if you want to see something work. you look at the fall of the roman wall the people in. way down a nemo map. i have a slogan stay home go up. why would i want to vote for one of the core employees. i'm

getting more excited about the upcoming elections will appeal in re clinton when will it increase we will be flying with the drawing the larry moe and curly but the added costs down while what self respecting person can look up to eat. they're a lot of people that are ready for a change to happen. and i believe it's starting to happen. when people lose everything and have nothing left to lose they lose tells us that in your eye forecasts for next year. are you also talk about the wakeup call for politicians. so who is going to be that person or that's going to deal with that voice that brings about the change which uses really radical and germanic. direct democracy like they have over this one too. he wanted go to war. but the people. you want your money go in foreign countries let the people vote. he

wanted bail out banks and financial institutions who led the people of. it's direct democracy and the nice people say the first reaction why we have long roll. yet we can he died. wanna talk about a mom. when a gang of five hundred and thirty five senators and congressmen kellen three hundred and fifty million people how to tie the shoes. the direct democracy work. anything's better than the corrupt system the ad. that was gerald soul and a publisher of the trends journal. and mayor michael bloomberg will officially leave office today after more than a decade as mayor of new york city. even now he's on his way down he will be when the meeting without a legacy and one part of that legacy will be defined by his reputation as the key of big bands bloomberg initiated bans on everything from cigarettes to big gulp so that's our look
